Got my training and class 6 license 8 yrs ago. Was drilled into us newbies to have the bike in gear at all times in traffic and when stopped at lights for the very reasons mentioned previously.As to potential clutch harm, been doing it now for some 20k miles on my Commando and 70k KM's on my modern bonneville. Most of my riding has at least a few hours of stop and go urban riding each trip. No issues with original bronze clutch, no signs of excess heating.Also, in Hemming's excellent GB rebuild DVD video, he specifically mentions not to let the bike idle for long periods in neutral as there will be excess wear on the counter(?) shaft bushing due to poor oil splash reaching it when in neutral.
